NSCAD University is delighted to welcome new students to its Foundation and graduate programs this fall, including 15 students who have earned the university’s top entrance scholarships.

This September, the university is featuring the work of these award-winning students in an exhibition coinciding with the beginning of the fall term. First Impressions runs until September 30 at the Port Loggia Gallery at NSCAD’s Port Campus, 1107 Marginal Rd., Halifax.

Through the generosity of its donors, the university is able to offer scholarships ranging from $8,000 to $1,000 a year. Such support allows NSCAD to attract top young talent from high schools in Canada and the United States.
